WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's news today


Ok its that time again, CFZ daily news blog update time (I’ll have to think of a snappier way of putting that). Before I do though Jon has asked if I can do more recommendations in the week so if you’re into that sort of thing rejoice, if not and you just came here to read news and are irritated by my inane prattle and groan in a po-faced manner at the puns at the end then skip to the blue links.
Right, now that the pseuds have gone I’ll recommend a DVD to go with your tea and biscuits, as this is the first one of these I won’t recommend something obscure known only to a select group of basement dwelling anime otaku but recommend something most people rate among their favourite movies; The Big Lebowski. If I’m caught on camera when skulking around the house I’m invariably wearing a t-shirt and dressing gown, now you know why. Anyway enough rambling, on with the news:

World's rarest rhino caught on film
Chimp's stone throwing at zoo visitors was 'premeditated'
And
Vampire discovered in Mass Grave

I guess ‘fangs’ are in order to the person who submitted that last news story to us. We can always ‘Count’ on our readers to email us interesting stories so I hope you won’t ‘Mona’ about the fact that there were just three today, some days there just aren’t that many crypto related stories published as others, I know that can ‘suck’ and it can be a ‘pain in the neck’ but if the amount of phone calls Jon had about the Devil’s footprints yesterday is anything to go by then I’d ‘stake’ good money on there being a lot more tomorrow so be sure to check the blogs for updates at lunch time and again around ‘Twilight’.
